Nicole has been with OrthoArizona since 2009 and has enjoyed working alongside the surgeons and staff during this time of growth. She has developed good relations and understanding of what the surgeon’s preferences and protocols are individually. She is certified in ASTYM since 2006 and uses it frequently with appropriate diagnosis. She enjoys working with all age ranges and post-operative diagnosis.
The bulk of her free time is spent within the animal rescue community where she has volunteered with various animal shelters and rescues, as well as fostered at times for them. She has a moderate sized family of cats and dogs as well at home. She does some hiking on the weekends and visits family in the Midwest and East Coast when she is able.
Very thorough, knowledgeable and caring.
The best.
Not very informative. I'm never told why I'm doing a certain exercise,and feel afraid to ask questions for fear of being called difficult which I've already been called. When I state that certain movements cause pain or that I'm in pain,I'm never asked what type of pain . I'm just told that the pain is normal. She is simple not very good at helping me learn the skills I need to get healthy.
Very good therapy person.
Very professional, knowledgable and friendly, She's great...
Super easy to communicate with and has lots of patience!
Nicole was the best of the many PTs who have worked to address my many different physical problems. She did a very thorough job of learning about my physical difficulties. We made many different steps for the first time I was her patient. I left with a well explained list of exercises that I must do in order to return to my next session. I am fortunate to have had Nicole as my first Physical Therapist at OrthoArizona.
She was very professional and she was very helpful!
Very helpful and cordial. Her post - op instructions were easy to understand.
Veery sensitive and sensible
